DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

MONTREAL, August 27.-The Herald
building was burned to the ground last
night for second time within five years.
1t was solid stone building five stories
in height and situated at st. James street
and Victoria square. The fire broke out
in the bindery and spread with such rapid
ity that before the firemen arrived the
whole building was one mass of flames.
Fortunately there was an unlimited sup
ply of water in this district, or the fire
would inevitably have spread on every
hand. The whole brigade was summoned
and the building was literally flooded with
water, but this had little effect on the mass
of burning oil, printers ink and other in
fammable material. The flames reached
across st. James street, threatening the
buildings on the other side. The building
cost $6S000 and was owned by George
Stephens. The Herald Printing company
loses the whole plant, valued at over $780,
600, on which there is very little insur-
ance. The ground floor was occupied as
stores and offices, all of which are des-
troyed.

RAILROAD LANDS,

President Cleveland Writes Letter
Which Proves Bombshel.
CAIRO, ILL.,, August 27.-Southwestern
Missouri is in a frenzy of excitement over
the railroad land question, which lately
has developed some most remarkable tea-
lures. Many years ago man named MIL
Ter, living in Blodgett, Mo, purchased a
large plat of land from the Iron Moun-
tain railroad, which he occupied without
molestation long period. For some rea-
son not known to the pnblic, the railroad
people endeavored, in various ways, to rid
themselves of Miller, finally issuing an
order of election. Miller at last was in
duced to write to President Cleveland, ex-
planning fully the circumstances by which
he came into possession of the property.
An answer was received in due time, advis-
ing Miller to retain possession of the
lands at all hazards, and stating further
that, by reason of the failure of the rail
road to keep certain contract with the
government, they had forfeited all right
and title to them, and that the entire tracts
in possession of the railroad company
were subject to registration and occupa-
ton by bona fde settlers, the same as any
other government lands.
The news spread like prairie fire, and
it is said that the settlers are rushing into
southwestern Missouri and squattlng on
the finest lands in the state. There are
thousands of acres of land under this set
Element of the case, which will be taken
possessiau of by emigrants.

The Wrecking Fiend.

PARAMOUNT, ILL.,, August 27.-The Wa

terday, in keeping quiet an attempted
train wrecking near Danville, last Wednes-
day morning. The bridge crossing Yer
million river is 600 feet long, and over 100
feet high, and the approach from the west
is down heavy grade through deep cut.
The Waterman employed to examine the
bridge and throw the targets over, in at
tendance to his duty Wednesday morning,
just before the eastbound passenger train
was due, discovered a piece of railroad
iron firmly placed between two ties in such
train passing over.

A COMPROMISE.

The Glenn Bill Brushed Aside and Reso
luton Adopted in Its Stead.
CHICAGO, August PA special from
Atlanta, Ga says:
"In the house of representatives yester-
day Mr.. Calvin, from the committee on
education, reported resolutions declaring
that county education of races is contrary
to the intent of the constitution, and that
the governor be directed not to draw his
warrant in favor of the Atlanta university
for the states annual appropriation of
$4,000, until satisfactory assurance be
given that it shall be applied exclusively
for the education of colored children.
Mr.. Glenn moved that two hundred
copies of the report and resolutions be
printed, which was lost.
i Mr.. Calvin moved the adoption of the
resolution. The motion prevailed,a and the
resolution was adopted.
This action effectually brushes Mr..
Glenn and his bill aside. Mr.. Glenn's bill
makes 1t penal to educate the races to-
gether, and opens up untold sources OF
litigation. Mr.. Calvin's action removes
this danger and places the democrats in a
better position than they would be under
the Glenn bill. The state appropriates
$4,000 to the state university for the
whites. Mr.. Calvin's resolution is an in
sistance on the part of the legislature that
the $4,000 appropriated to the colored
university shall be for their use exclusive
ly, and puts the white scholars there in an
attitude of intruding. There is much ju-
bilation among the negroes over what
they regard as an escape from an I'M
pleasant political dilemma.

Governor Adams, of Colorado, with refer
ence to the Ute trouble. This is in accord
ance with instructions from the president
through Acting Secretary of the Interior
Muldrow, as q result of Governor Adams

belief that no trouble will be experienced
in inducing the Indians to return to their
reservation, if the conference between
General Crook and Governor Adams re-
suits in the suspension of the attempt by
the state authorities to enforce civil pro-

has been authorized to take with him in

influential with the Indians, in order that
he may treat directly with Colorow, after

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
ABILENE, August 27.-Sam Rogers, of
Concho county, was shot and instantly
killed here to-day by Constable h. Z.
Burch. Rogers, with one Burke, turned
up in this place late yesterday evening.
This morning Burke went into the store
of Lowpowski, and after buying few
articles rendered for payment and change
what purported to be check signed by
D. E. Sims, of San Angelo, for $43. This
was refused, unless the check could
be vouched for by the bank. The cashier
pronounced it forgery and Burke was
promptly arrested by Officer Burch. On
his way to the jail She prisoner was Joined
by his friend Rogers, who at once drew
revolver and fred upon Constable Burch.
The officer shot at about the same time,
and Rogers fell with bullet through his
brain, while the officer went unframed.
Rogers and Burke are said to be the same
parties who passed some forged checks In
Colorado City few days ago.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-09-01

that Burke is un1er arrest
unless otherwise instructed. There is no
provision made for such expenses as
would be incurred in bringing Burke
back, beyond the contingency fund in the
hands of the governor, and it is hardly
likely that he will see fit to return Burke
at the states expense. Whether Burke's
bondsmen will incur the expense is ques-
tionable, as he has undoubtedly made all
the restitution possible, and all they could
do would be to send him to the peniten-
tiary, and this would not make good their
loss. The opinion is quite general
throughout the city that Burke is making
an extremely foolish move in coming
back. Having returned the bonds, there
is little likelihood that he would be mo-
Tested, and under new name he might
lead henceforth an honest life as a free
man, while his return necessarily means
term in the penitentiary.

NEW YORK, August 27. - Inspector
Byrnes' detectives, on a cable message
from Europe, boarded the steamship
Adriatic to-day on her arrival, and arrest
ed man and Woman, charged with
adultery and larceny. The prisoners are
Rev. David Seymour, of the M. E. Church
at GAINESVILLE, Mimi, and Mrs. Fanny
Henry, wife of the editor of the James
vile Argus. The couple eloped on August
IL. Seymour took 800 in church funds,
and with the woman came to this city.
They were pursued by Henry and his
brother-in-law. The clipping couple
sailed for Europe, and doubled on their
trail by coming back to New York. Henry
had crossed the Atlantic, also. Finding
the trail doubled, he cabled back to
Inspector Byrnes,who arrested the clippers
this morning.
In the police court both were held to
await the arrival of Henry by the next
steamer.
The erring couple were four days in
Liverpool before they learned that the
irate husband was close on their heels.
They at once took the first steamer back
to this country. The husband upon
hearing this at once telegraphed to In
spector Byrnes and the authorities OF
Minnesota, asking that the pair be inter
cepted. The minister was charged with
larceny and adultery. The detective who
made the arrest found the runaways IN
the storage. He held on to the dominic
but let Mrs. Henry go her way. Seymour
returned on the Adriatic, of the White
Star line, under the name of Francis Gov
ert. When approached bya detective he
denied that he was the man the detective
wanted. Seymour left wife and five
children and Mrs. Henry deserted her hus-
band and two children.
